FAQ

Q - Who are you?A - Long time listener first time caller, mining and using bitcoin for about a year now.

I think you've answered your own question in part, its possibly better to buy bonds that are reasonably stable in price across all the offerings than wait however long BFL is taking to ship, or you may not have the stomach for investing in hardware.

Thanks to Butterfly Labs release of improved firmware we have seen a good gain in hash rate. As a bonus 'thank you' to investors this will be distributed between shares until further notice, bringing the payout up to 105% PPS.

Furthermore I'm giving notice that this weeks dividend will be paid early, in the next 24 hours, as I will be out of the country for a few days.

No, don't really see a need at this point since most of the IPO sold and its doubtful the rest will in this market, without lowering the price (which I'm also not considering, currently). So I would be reducing my personal security in order to give investors more confidence, in the 103 outstanding shares, worth all of 29btc.

The big news this week is the new BFL product, what this means for mining bonds is not entirely clear but Q is in the lab working on a plan. An SC single upgrade has been purchased, with our order placed within the first 100 according to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=89521.0.
